Kubickiboy Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Has anybody got/tried a Mesa Walkbout 1x15 4 ohm extension cab? I've got a choice between that and a GK RBX 4x10 8ohm cab. I have a GK 400RBHIII 2x10 combo and an Ashdown Superfly 500 head to match up with them. Help!! I've only got a day to make a choice. Do I match the Ashdown with the Mesa and have a lightweight mini stack and a combo to back up? Or do I get stacking and go with the GK cab, and use the Ashdown head with it for smaller gigs..... A quick response would be much, much appreciated. Cheers! Quote

thedontcarebear Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Mesa cabs are nice, but they won't be part of a lightweight setup surely? Quote

Kubickiboy Posted July 26, 2007 Author Posted July 26, 2007 Update: went with the GK RBX 4x10. It's a monster, both in terms of weight and tone. Thanks for your input. Quote
TPJ Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 That avatar brings back memories of the natural Kubicki I had in the '90's. Probably the most playable bass I've owned. The necks are fantastic, just couldn't quite get the tone out of it that I was after. Great basses though... excuse my ramblings Quote

Bass_Junkie Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 i have that combo except its the RB-IV not RB-III does the RBX series work well with that combo? Quote

Gigged the full rig the other day and had to keep turning it down. Also have to roll off a little bass as the ext cab is super bassy. But with a tweak on the eq you're set. Also with the horn I can add as much sparkle as I want. I wouldn't hesitate to get one if I were you - it's turned what was already a great sound through my combo into a massive "backline" sound. And a steal at £300. Only drawback - it weighs about the same as a small horse. Quote
